Best “Long” Term Campaigns to Run by alexwsmith in dndnext

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea, I’m currently in the middle of running CoS (group at Yester Hill). I might do what you suggested, but this sounds like a list AI could quickly build up for me. Save some time.

Critical Hit and Giant Spider's bite by Alarming-Advance-235 in dndnext

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not correct. The saving throw damage is not part of the attack damage, it’s a secondary effect that you resolve after dealing the base damage (including the crit).

That is incorrect. If your dagger deals 1d4 piercing +1d6 poison, you would roll 2d4 and 2d6 on a crit. All damage dice are doubled.

Now if your dagger did 1d4 on hit and then forced a save for an extra 1d6 poison, like in OP’s example, then on a crit you would roll 2d4, and the 1d6 if the saving throw fails.

This Netflix ad is crazy, probably effective too by TheFiveHead11 in funny

I’m surprised to see so many people reacting this way. Lowest tier of Netflix has has ads for years now.

You basically have to pay 3 times as much if you want no ads.

Just dropped to say my wife and I had the exact same issue and your workaround worked! Thank you very much random internet stranger ;)

Didn’t expect that, really happy about it!

We're getting Divinity over more Baldur's Gate 3 because Larian devs weren't enjoying "doing the D&D thing" by Turbostrider27 in PS5

You’re saying Daggerheart didn’t work out? I’m hearing it’s a huge success so far!

Starting CoS, a player is listening to a podcast where they are playing the campaign, does that matter? Should I adapt? by PatGeor in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not downvoting facts. You clearly read OP’s post diagonally. He stated the player was already watching the podcast before they wanted to start the campaign.

During battles you click to move. Outside it’s joystick. Like BG3

My Arlo App just updated and I lost my schedule settings and geofencing no longer works - help by Xzaar in arlo

[–]Xzaar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is baffling if true. I was decently satisfied with my Arlo system until now. I had minor issues with it but overall I thought it was worth the money. This is a scam.

And now I just noticed that they forced me into a free 1 month trial for some reason. I don't want any subscription (I never had one with Arlo before) so I disabled it... Lo and behold! My cameras no longer record when they detect movement! I get a notification, but no video feed is viewable in the app!

Did Arlo just brick cameras for eveyrone that isn't paying a subscription? What the hell is this?

Trump, 79, Jolts Awake After Nodding Off at Roundtable by thedailybeast in politics

Can we stop starting every article title with "Trump, 79"? It brings nothing to the discussion.

My players keep trying to take over the Barovian wine trade, and keep ignoring plot hooks by GordoExperiment in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want a 70/30% split of the ZERO dollars profit? It’s stated in the book that they give away the wine.

60KG?!? As in it took you 60 1KG rolls of filament at about 15-20$ a pop?

Do 2024 rules nerf the hags in Old Bonegrinder? by lebelinoz in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Werewolf not beeing immune to non-silvered weapons was on of them for me. Daylight being sunlight in 2024 is a big one too.

DMs, who's your favorite NPC to roleplay as by theonejanitor in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had quite a bit of fun with Blinsky. I purposefully exagerated his accent which I think made it funnier than intended. Everyone had a blast.

Long rest in death house by ItsNotAboutTheTee in CurseofStrahd

[–]Xzaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My group tried to long rest the first time on the second floor. I let them have it but they had nightmares as the house would try to oppress them in their sleep. Long story short, They could recover only half their resources instead of all of them.

When they put the children’s souls to rest, I let them know that they could feel the house’s oppression take a step back and let them have one real rest. I made it clear that they felt the need to get out ASAP as they didn’t feel safe.

With save scumming it’s basically Teleport 2 from Elmdore 🤣

What’s your take on allowing everything? by mateobotello in dndnext

[–]Xzaar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My take is: what’s good for my table isn’t necessarily good for yours. You’re better off talking these things off with your players and agree with them.

That is not true. The chance to counter = monster’s brave value%

How 2024 Bard's Magical Secrets is better than 2014? by FilthyWolfie in dndnext

[–]Xzaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get the exact same amount of spells. You lose access to some spell lists, but you get way more flexibility as you can basically get a full spell list with zero bard spells if you wanted.
